Book Description
"The subject of this book is the history of England between 1042 and 1189. Its object is to display the evidence for that history, and to indicate the main texts on which must be based our knowledge of English development at that time. The general purpose of this volume thus calls for no comment, nor even (as may be hoped) for any justification. But the particular delimitation of the period with which it deals may none the less demand an explanation. The isolation of any historical epoch must always, to some extent, mask the essential flux in human affairs, and since all periods are ages of transition, to set up barriers between them can hardly fail, in one sense, to be misleading. Nevertheless, expediency demands the device, and it is not solely for reasons of convenience that it may, with proper qualifications, be defended. To say, for example, that a break in English growth occurred either in 1042 or 1189 would be manifestly untrue, but on the other hand it would be reasonable to assert that between these dates there took place changes in English society, and in English politics, so fundamental as to warrant their separate consideration. The period derives its unity from the working out of a single complex process. During the reign of Edward the Confessor there were posed those problems whose resolution entailed the Norman Conquest. In the reigns of William I and Henry I that Conquest was successfully concluded. With Henry II there were brought to completion many of the consequential developments which the Norman Conquest involved. Indeed, so notable was this transition and so spectacular were the events which brought it about that there is even a danger of forgetting the thread of continuity linking the England of Edward the Confessor with the England of Henry II. English history did not begin in 1066. Nor in any sense did it then end."--Introduction.
